Allianz Annual Report 2012

Annual Report 2012 Allianz Group Credit risk capital for the Group remained mostly stable. Small increases in Life/Health and Property-Casualty are due to the continued financial repression caused by the European sovereign debt crisis impacting credit markets and ratings. For Life/Health the impact is mainly driven by long term investments and for Property-Casualty segment it can be attributed mostly to Euler Hermes credit insur- ance. The decline in credit risk for the Corporate and Other segment is primarily due to divestment of some concen- trated exposures. The following table displays the sensitivities of credit risk capital to certain scenarios: deterioration of credit quality measured by issuer rating 1 downgrades and the decline of recovery rates in the event of a default (Loss-Given-Default, LGD). The sensitivities are calculated by applying each sce- nario to all exposures individually but keeping all other parameters constant.2 1 Credit risk capital calculations are based on issuer (borrower) ratings as opposed to issue (instrument) ratings. The difference between issue and issuer ratings is primarily due to collateralization and seniority and is reflected in loss-given-default (LGD). 2 Scenarios are applied only to investment and reinsurance exposure positions in portfolios of ­Allianz operating entities.
